Hi ! welcome to BIRDMAN 2009, North Devon's premier family fun event to be held on Ilfracombe Pier on SUNDAY 2rd AUGUST 2009. We'll be adding news of what's happening in 2009 as and when we know about it. A summary of BIRDMAN 2007 follows:- Well, after a disastrous summer, the sun finally shone and the sky was blue on the day that really counted. Crowds thronged the Pier. Ilfracombe had reportedly never been as busy for 40 years!!! The event comprised the BIRDMAN contest, in which daring entrants launched themselves from the Pier with their home made flying machines and silly costumes in an attempt to fly. The UK TEAM STRONGMAN COMPETITION featured those men you've seen on the telly. They pulled ships and lifted elephants (well, not literally)
(www.teamstrongman.co.uk) - the event attracted numerous National level strongmen and one competitor who took part in the World Strongman Championship !!
On the TRUCK STOP STAGE, 11 bands / artists of different genres played their way. Our BIG SCREEN, showing live footage of the bands, the STRONGMEN and the Birdman contestants was a real hit. A fantastic day out with 10 hours of almost non stop entertainment in a stunning setting.This non profit making event, raised about £10,000 for Charity and local good causes and was organised by Ilfracombe & District Round Table. BIG THANKS to all those that took part, organised the event, or just paid to get on the Pier for the day. Have a look at the photos - a DVD showing the highlights will follow. Get your entry in for 2008 !!
